Negri’s ideas explore how collective action can challenge dominant political and economic systems. His writings blend philosophy with political analysis, emphasizing the capacity of social groups to create change through decentralized and horizontal organization. His work is influential in understanding contemporary global activism and the dynamics of power in the modern world.
